Is Microsoft losing ground to Linux? | |

Open-source software gave Microsoft a one-two punch this week, with the European Union and an African nonprofit educational organization showing preference for Linux systems. The European Union awarded on Thursday a $249,000 (250,000 euro) contract to U.K.-based system-integrator Netproject to study the feasibility of moving the information systems of several member countries' governments to the Linux operating system from Microsoft's Windows OS. | ||

It's called a contract. Why did the laptops have to come from Acer (and be XP Pro models)? Contrary to the statements in the letter, you can get high-quality computers from non-tier 1 IHVs. I agree with the "hissy fit" comments. MS didn't have to make the concessions they did in the first place. |

Have to agree with parker. Netscape caused the HTML compliance problems... They were the first to introduce the whole "Designed for x" concept, because they introduced stuff that was locked to their server product.
Ever wonder why IE contains Mozilla in it's browser tag? It was to fool netscape servers into thinking they were talking to netscape browsers. |
